Operation Get Eden Adopted is underway! We got all of our oversized checked bags onto the plane, maneuvered the car seats + carryons + kids through three airports now and we’re about to head off towards the final flight to Nairobi. God has been watching out for us: they almost checked a bag through without a tag, they lost Andy’s paper lap ticket, and the room reservation here in Amsterdam was booked for tonight instead of today. But all of the potential snafus worked out without causing any major problems.

The kids have been doing better than expected, we’ll see how they do on this next 8 hour one with only 5 hours of sleep and a few missed naps.

Agree with Deda re. prayer and rejoicing. Generations ago we always found our airline peolple were willing to adjust for us – BUT, today? don’t know. And most hotels are just glad to get another paying customer. 8 hours is not a good time to spend sitting on an airplane seat, but the choo is good exercise.

whoot…glad you are having good success so far…the next leg seems long so we will pray extra hard as we fall asleep!! Operation Adopt Eden is our new favorite project…will be waiting to hear you have arrived. lvoe, the James Gang (and the resident country music star)
